I like the 5.29's. I tried them with 33's but it was just a 'touch' too gutless. But then again, I'm going to play around with the kickdown cable this weekend.

32's seem to be a sweet spot with the auto trans and 5.29's.

2700k @ 100km/h is good.

4 low, over drive off, L gear crawls so damn slow on a steep hill going down that I could walk faster than it. And this was on a steep hill that I wouldn't really walk down in the first place. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> It was crawling down so slow that I could take a nap or eat a sandwich and look around outside.
This is a place where my Cherokee would run down like a mad cow and I'd have to be on the brakes the whole way down sliding. The Pajero just took it's own time. I love this thing. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />


... good.. bad.. I'm the guy with the gun.

I thought that jeeps had nice low range gears (or at least the YJ). I find that Toyota's have too high of a low range as well.
